Chapter 85 Flour on the Market
Cheeky for collection.
It's really hard to say about the weather, the weather was quite comfortable when Xiao Mo first arrived in Dasui. It's now May, and it's noticeably hot. Early in the morning, wearing a single robe, the oncoming wind blowing on the body is no longer a trace of cold.
In this era of serious lack of nightlife and no electronic products, those habits of staying up all night are now long gone, and for Xiao Mo, going to bed early and getting up early has become a very common thing. Xiao Mo felt that if he continued to live like this, he would be able to be rated as a top five young man.
Early the next morning, Xiao Mo sat on the threshold of his hall refreshedly and drank a bowl of porridge sprinkled with shredded chicken. It is said that insisting on doing one thing can form a habit, and Xiao Mo sits on the threshold of his house from time to time, and now it seems that there is a tendency to form a habit. While drinking porridge, Xiao Mo asked Erniu to prepare an ox cart by the way, ready to go to Sihailou for an appointment for a while.
Xiao Feixuan saw her second brother's eclectic appearance, grinned, and sat on the threshold with a bowl of porridge, drinking with a grin, not looking like the eldest lady of the Xiao family at all.
Seeing this, Xiao Xiang'er also held a bowl that was about to catch up with her face, and sat on the threshold with some difficulty, and her little feet could touch the ground.
Xiao Mo was not annoyed when he saw the two girls like this, he stretched out his hand and patted each of the two girls on their heads, looked at the two girls with a smile, and then said softly: "It's completely allowed to eat on the threshold, but don't fall or spill." ”
Xiao Xiang'er listened, nodded with the bowl hard, and looked serious on her little face.
Xiao Feixuan also nodded and said: "No, Xuan'er is not small, how could she fall, Xuan'er is not stupid!" But in comparison, you are the best second brother, in the past, when you were in the house, Xuan'er would be required to even have the most basic sitting posture, and if you sat wrong, you would be scolded, second brother, you would not ask Xuan'er so much. ”
Xiao Mo smiled when he heard this: "Second brother does not have so many cumbersome rules here, but the second brother is not without rules here, and the things that cannot be done are never allowed, and the things that cannot be done cannot be touched, and the second brother believes that you can understand these." ”
Xiao Feixuan listened, and nodded seriously: "Don't worry, second brother, Xuan'er is notoriously obedient." ”
Xiao Mo could only shake his head helplessly when he saw this, it would be strange if this girl was obedient.
Then Xiao Feixuan said mysteriously: "Second brother, I heard that you are going to Sihailou today, Xuan'er has been in confinement recently, and she is dying of boredom, can Xuan'er go with her second brother?" It just so happened that Xuan'er could meet the rumored Yun Fairy to see if she was worthy of my second brother. ”
Xiao Mo is not averse to taking this sister out to play, but Sihailou is a dusty place in this era after all, and this sister of his is a beautiful lady and the pearl of a big family, if she goes to a place like Sihailou, it is indeed very inappropriate. What's more, Xiao Mo didn't go today to play, but to do business.
Xiao Mo couldn't help but touch Xiao Feixuan's head and smiled: "Wait for the second brother to take you out for a good time another day, the second brother has something to do today, and a place like Sihailou is not for a girl like Xuan'er and you should go, the second brother doesn't want Xuan'er to be a beautiful lady and will do something against etiquette."
As for seeing Fairy Yun, on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the second brother will personally take you to see you on the boat. ”
When Xiao Feixuan heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched, revealing two little tiger teeth and grinning: "Great! That's great! I know that the second brother is the best, Xuan'er has never gone out to play since she was twelve years old, and she has always learned various etiquette in the house. However, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, and the second brother will take Xuan'er to play tomorrow, okay? ”
Xiao Mo laughed when he heard this: "Okay, why not, but when the time comes, I'm afraid it's not the second brother who will take you to play, but you will take the second brother to play, the second brother has never gone out to play, compared to Xuan'er, the second brother's familiarity with the outside is much worse." ”
Xiao Feixuan listened to Xiao Mo's words, and felt a little uncomfortable, and when she thought about the hard life of her second brother before, she was even more uncomfortable. Such a second brother has always been very fond of himself. Xiao Feixuan's eyes couldn't help but feel a little foggy.
Then Xiao Feixuan nodded very seriously and said, "Then tomorrow Xuan'er will take the second brother to play." ”
Xiao Mo laughed warmly when he heard this, and patted Xiao Feixuan's little head. Then he stood up, walked in front of Xiao Xiang'er, squatted down, took the bowl in Xiao Xiang'er's hand, put it on the ground, and then wiped Xiao Xiang'er's mouth with his hand and said, "Look, they are almost becoming little cats." ”
Xiao Xiang'er was amused by Xiao Mo and giggled, and regardless of the clear porridge on her mouth, she kissed Xiao Mo on the face. Xiao Mo laughed and hugged the little girl off the threshold, and after the girl stood firmly, she got up and walked outside the courtyard.
Erniu, who had just prepared the ox cart to enter the yard, saw the scene in front of him, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little moist, but he immediately raised his hand to wipe it and returned to normal.
Xiao Mo's ox cart is quite spacious, and the space is not small, so Xiao Mo has no problem sleeping in it. So Huo Yi and Shan Yi also sat in the ox cart together, so that it was convenient to protect Xiao Mo closely.
The escort tasks of the two of them will not come to an end until Xiao Mo completes the military expenses, and no one knows whether there will be follow-up work at that time.
Er Niu drove the ox cart and whispered to Xiao Mo in the car: "Young master, early this morning, there is news from the palace, just today, the flour made by the young master's secret method will be fully marketed in Luodu." ”
Xiao Mo was not surprised to hear this, nodded and said: "Well, I know about this, it's not a big deal, and at this time, it's time to launch it, and it just so happens that you can also borrow the east wind of the drum to pick flowers." Erniu, you can drive well, don't be distracted. ”
Huo Yishan sat in the carriage and also heard Xiao Mo's words. To say that they are not curious is absolutely false, but after all, the duty of the two is to guard, and no matter how curious they are, they can't ask.
In the past two days, Huo Yi and Shan Yi have personally guarded Xiao Mo, but they have really gained knowledge, not to mention fireworks and praying for rain, I have never heard of such a thing before. Just take Xiao Mo's humane little white dog as an example, which is something that the two of them have never seen.
What fascinates the two of them the most is the meals every day, it is really even a cabbage, the taste here is better than what I have eaten before, I don't know how many times, not to mention the secret meat, which can make people bite their tongues.
At this time, the two of them heard about the flour made by this secret method again, and it seemed that it was cooperated with the Wang family, and it was a thing that the Wang family valued quite a lot. Huo Yishan and one or two people all know that this Wang family is a family of inheritance, and the background is very unusual.
Therefore, at this time, Huo Yi and Shan Yi were full of curiosity, and Xiao Mo himself had a gentle temper, if it weren't for their duties, the two would have wanted to ask.
At this time, all the shops of the Luodu royal family, whether it is a rice shop, a cloth shop, a restaurant, or a commercial house, all hung up huge banners at the same time on this day, and on the white cloth segment was a line of red characters "The Gospel of the People".
This banner advertising strategy was naturally also thought up by Xiao Mo, and the Wang family was also prepared early, just waiting for the flour to be a blockbuster today.
The first appearance of this advertisement, the effect is amazing, and all the people who see this advertisement can't help but have a huge curiosity.
In just over an hour, the news of the Wang family's move spread all over Luodu.
And when the people saw the bags of flour, they were shocked! This thing is not unseen, as long as you are willing to work hard, manually remove the wheat husk, anyone can grind such a fine white flour, again, with a sieve to sift the ground wheat, you can also get flour, but it will look a little coarse yellow.
But the flour of the Wang family is extremely fine white, and the most important thing is that there are too many fine white flour, there are at least dozens of bags in each store, and hundreds of bags in each rice shop.
Just the amount of one rice shop, before it was put in, with the productivity of Luodu, I am afraid that even if the entire people of Luodu work together, it will not be able to be completed in a short time.
However, the Wang family sold thousands of bags at the same time, and the selling price was very cheap, and the pricing was that ordinary goods that ordinary people could buy, and the cost performance was really very high.
At this time, the Great Sui had not yet unified Kyushu, and the large area south of the Yangtze River was not yet the territory of the Great Sui, so in the Great Sui, although there was rice, the yield was very small, and those who could eat white and clean rice were all high-ranking officials and nobles.
Ordinary people generally eat corn and wheat, both of which are eaten directly after steaming, and they are very coarse grains, which are quite difficult to swallow. Now that there is such a cost-effective flour, people will naturally change their choices, who will dislike what they eat better? Flour is not yet made of wheat?
What's more, the Wang family also supports the exchange of wheat for flour, and the exchange rate is very fair, so the people are naturally more willing to choose flour.
And the Wang family also has a hole card hidden, that is, the production method of various pasta, these are all knocked by Wang Ziyao from Xiao Mo.
When the time is ripe, the Wang family is releasing this hole card, which is definitely a big move to change the eating habits of the majority of the population in Luodu, and the Wang family has changed the eating habits of the population in the case of monopolizing the production of flour, and it is impossible to make money when the time comes.
On the first day of the introduction of flour, the Wang family already did not know how much copper was in the pocket.
